Just got back from an elk hunt with 4 others, and we all bought the Garmin GPS Radios Rino 120&130's. Every one knew where the other was, and we were always in touch.

I remember reading somewhere (I think it pertains to France but maybe it was an African country) that hunting with radio communication capability was illegal in that jurisdiction. What are US rules on that subject?

Wink,
In most states the use of radios is allowed but you can not use them to aid in the hunting. So, you can be hunting and ask your buddy where the hell he is located, but you cant tell him that there is a bug bull bedded down 300 yards in front of him! In Colorado many fish and game wardens monitor the radio waves and will write tickets if they catch you breaking the law.

Surely some kind of 'code' could overcome that?
